U.S. news outlets appear to have forgotten that the Juarez Cartel and multiple acts of corruption have been linked to the election of the current Mexican President, Enrique Peña Nieto. The Mexican president’s ties to cartels, the mysterious release from prison of major cartel figures during his presidency, and the fact that regions of Mexico are under operational control of these paramilitary transnational criminal organizations during his presidency are rarely, if ever, reported in the U.S. The outrageous number of journalists who have been murdered or who have simply disappeared in Peña Nieto’s Mexico is also rarely reported.
Last year, Breitbart Texas reported on an investigation that revealed that a series of shell companies had been used by members of the Juarez cartel to funnel funds into Peña Nieto’s 2012 election. The investigation was carried out by Mexican award winning journalist Carmen Aristegui and her team; the subsequent scandal became known as Monexgate for the cash cards that were given out during Peña Nieto’s campaign. Those journalists have been under criticism by the Mexican government after discovering the cartel finance link, as well as the fact that Peña Nieto had received properties as bribes from government contractors.
A few examples of the current Mexican president’s softness towards his nation’s drug cartels provide some insight into the realities in Mexico that are ignored by U.S. media. more here
Hey… they ignored all of Clinton’s ties to cartels, repressive regimes, communists, and more. Ditto for 0bama.
And we’re surprised somehow?
El Chapo must have been the competition.
Living along the border my whole life, Mexican corruption is as pervasive as night following day. It started when Cortez wiped out the Aztec nation and started what was essentially a slave state run by Spaniards. Since then, power and money have been tied to force and corruption.
Mexico has never been a nation of laws. Ever. The greatest, most compelling evidence is their universal prohibition against firearms. EVERYBODY who can be armed, is armed, illegally, but armed nonetheless. The only ones held accountable to that prohibition are the ones at the bottom, who still provide the slave labor once provided by the Aztecs.
Nope. Fake News. As we learned from Nancy Pelosi, there are no mexican criminals. They are ALL good people.
The deceptive “blind eye” of the US Media furthers the agenda of progressivism, division and social upheaval.
If there is no reporting, it’s covered by fake reporting.

When El Trumpo said that he was going to have a beautiful door in his border wall I now know what he meant. Open the door and kick all Muslims, illegals, and unhappy Marxists right thru that beautiful door and into Mexico, Ole!
Quick! Somebody fetch Schumer’s crying towel.

So what you’re saying is that Mexico is just a modern day Egypt, and the pharaohs have moved there!
These people need a savior, someone like a Mexican Moses. I think there’s a few more plagues that can be directed down that way. And How!
